Agreed; I’d also want to see that the players on the team get the opportunity to switch to other schools at no penalty to them (allowing them to keep whatever scholarships they have, tuition, etc.). They are affected by the decisions, but weren’t involved in the situation. They came to an institution that didn’t serve them or the community at large. The penalty shouldn’t be on them individually.

Satt: The $60 million is the tip of the iceberg, but the school can absorb that and whatever settlements are eventually made to the kids who were abused.

I do disagree that it harms those administrators who are there now. They worked at an institution that failed the community. The institution has to recognize the failings - and the Freeh report indicates those institutionalized failings; policies and procedures were such that they too were part of the scandal. It’s only after the prosecutors took up the case that the school began to take these issues seriously and conduct their own investigation into the matter.
